eBay Watch: June 2011
So, welcome to episode #101 of eBayWatch, or episode #99, depending on how you’re counting! June didn’t quite explode as I hoped it would, but still there are some great decks that came up this month and I think you’ll enjoy it. We had lots of decks that broke the $1000 barrier in both the […]

GVK #70: Fork it over.
A solstice miracle. All the major Blogs were represented E.P.M., H.O.M.O.S, Skate and Annoy. These parks on the Olympic Peninsula are a lot of fun. The road to Forks is out there. You feel as though you could see SACWATCH cross the road at any time. Make the trip, say hi to Josh, and practice […]

eBay Watch: May 2011 – #100!
So, welcome to episode #100 of eBayWatch, or episode #98, depending on how you’re counting it up! I’ve done 97 of these monthly reports and 2 specials on the $6000 Hawk and the $6099 Strople. So that makes this either #98, or #100, depending on how you count it up. Either way, it was shaping […]

eBay Watch: April 2011
I tell you what; April 2011 was one of my favorite months in a very long time. We had a ton of not only great looking decks, but some interesting ones too: decks you don’t see too often or decks with an interesting history. Months like this almost write themselves because I enjoy looking at […]

eBay Watch: March 2011
March was an excellent month on eBay, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to do it justice! I’ve just gotten back from vacation so I’m really behind. This month is gonna be one of those quickies I’m afraid. I’m not skimping on the number of decks, but will be minimizing the commentary, so […]

eBay Watch: February 2011
February was an interesting month, and not just because of the decks that went off. Don’t get me wrong; there were some great decks going off, but none for the crazy prices that we saw in January. No, February was more a return to normalcy. However, there were some interesting doings outside of eBay. First […]

GVK #66: Old Man Litinsky
Old man Marek hanging with his son Radek at Gabriel park. I had not skated with Marek for some time. He is solid as ever and still retains his good looks how can this be. Well it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRRm4mUT3Hg
